Need help paying your tuition? Then check out a new online video contest sponsored by Upromise (www.upromise.com), the largest private source of college funding contributions in the country.

Upromise Tuition Tales gives people a chance to tell the world why they or someone they know deserves $25,000 for college expenses. The more creative, entertaining, and deserving, the better!

Applicants can submit videos ( entries must be 30 seconds or less) online at www.upromise.com/tuitiontales. (There are a few examples up there already to get your creative juices flowing.) Submissions will be accepted until March 23. A panel of judges will then choose the top 10 videos, followed by an online vote. The top 10 finalists will get a $500 Bed Bath & Beyond gift card and the winner will walk away with $25,000 for college!
